Ebay Sellers: Anyone Using Ebay's New Standard Envelope For Coins?

If it is like anything else ebay rolls out , bound
to be one giant clustered mess up !
IE .... The managed payments rollout
for coin sellers . They just cannot leave
things alone !
One mess of a company in my opinion .

I received a coin today in such an envelope. Postage cost was $0.51 (for the seller) and tracking was included. It would not be advisable for many pieces because the envelope was clearly machine canceled but for low value stuff it looks like a boon to sellers.

As long as there is tracking, Great - but where to they raise the costs to cover this program?

Now unscrupulous PO employees can steal coins easier.

Only a matter of time until ebay has its own delivery system like Amazon.

This is just like when Nike switched from fairly stout and very plain boxes to stupidly thin ones covered in giant Nike logos and stupid slogans just to make it obvious which ones to steal.

Good ideas in principle are often foiled by bad people without principles.

I was wondering how this would work as I currently print out 4x6 labels in portrait landscape which would make putting the label on to satisfy ebay's requirement difficult.

If the label prints out differently, then this is a good alternative.

I print my standards directly onto the envelope. I have to shrink it in Abode pdf to fit the No. 10 and would suggest getting the more square envelopes in the future to avoid that hassle.

DON'T use cardboard flips (to stiff I guess)- the only scanner that will pick up the 3d barcode "stamp" is the automated ones at processing center. Your local PO can't scan 3d barcodes or even know what they are. Even if coin arrives, if it doesn't scan that will not be tracked and count as a defect on your account.

Still the tracking works great when I use the plastic sleeve protectors. I weigh my letters and 2 pennies in sleeves is still 1 oz and thus for $0.51 tracked.
